`Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 27, 1919.

Application filed March 8, 1919. Serial No. 281,370.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HAVLINA, a citizen of the United States,residing at Mosin'ee, in the county of Marathon and State of vWisconsin,have invented a new and useful Water-Motor, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a water motor, one of its objects being toprovide an arrangement of turbines each of which is connected to a driveshaft and can be operated Whenever desired at the same time with orindependently of the other turbines.

Another object is t0 provide a mechanism of this character which issimple, durable `and efficient and ycan be controlled readily.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details ofconstruction and combina tions of parts which will be hereinafter morefully described and pointed out in the claim it being understood thatvarious changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of theparts without departing from the spirit or sacricing any of theadvantages of the invention as set forth in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is a view partly in plan and partly in sectionof apparatus including the present improvements.

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3, Fig. 1.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates awater conduit provided at its ends with gates 2 and 3 and opening intothe conduit near one end is a feed pipe 4. Another conduit 5 is spacedfrom. and parallel with the conduit 1 and has end gates 6 and 7, the twoconduits being connected by cylindrical casings 8, 9 and 10 in each ofwhich are arranged turbine wheels 11, 12 and 13 respectively. Thesewheels are secured to shafts 14, 15 and 16,

respectively, provided with drive wheels 17 at the ends thereof. A gate18 is arranged in the conduit 5 between the ends of the casings 8 and 9`rlhe gates 3, 7 and 18 are readily movable while the gates 2 and 6 arepreferably fixed. A movable gate 19 is in conduit 1 between casings 9and 10. When the apparatus is not in use, the gates 3 and 19 canL beopened and the water entering the inlet 4 will pass through the conduit1 to the open end thereof. By closing the gate 3 and opening the gate 7the water will be deflected through the casing 8 and out of the open endof the conduit 5, thereby rotating the wheels 11, and driving the shaft14. By then closing the gate 19 the water will pass through the casings10, 9 and 8 successively and by closing gate 7 and opening gate 3 thewater will pass only through the casings 10 and 9, leaving the wheels 11stationary. By closing the gate 3 and opening the gates 18 and 7 thewater will pass solely through the casing 10, provided the gate 19 isclosed. Thus it will be seen that the operation of the parts can becontrolled at will.

What is claimed is In a water motor parallel conduits, casingsconnecting the conduits, turbines within each casing, a water inlet pipeopening into one end portion of one of the conduits and opposite the endof one end casing, a gate within said conduit between said end casingand an intermediate casing, a gate within the lother conduit between theother end of the intermediate casing and the other end casing, that endof the intake conduit nearest the inlet being closed, a gate at theother end of said conduit, and a gate at the correspending end of theother conduit, the other end of the last named conduit being closed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH I-IAVLINA.
